Monte Allen, son of Harold and Barbara (Hanson) Armentrout was born on June 1, 1960 in Devils Lake. He was reared in Devils Lake, attended elementary school at Minnie H and graduated from Devils Lake Central High School in 1979.

After graduating, Monte drove a milk truck for Dick Huffman out of Goodrich, ND. In 1981, due to a truck accident, Monte would be confined to a wheelchair the rest of his life. Monte moved to Minneapolis where he was receiving therapy and making a new life for himself. In 1986, Monte returned to Devils Lake and lived in the Armentrout family home until his death.

Monte enjoyed fishing and hunting. He loved gardening and would share his produce with anyone who asked. He was also into canning and processing his own deer and other game. Monte especially enjoyed time he spent with family and friends and especially his nieces and nephews, telling stories and making them laugh.

Monte had to overcome many difficulties and he felt blessed to have the love and support of his family throughout his life.
